4. Johdnson of st. Petersburg, gives
the following formula for a convenient
ink for marking clothing by means Of a
stamp: Twenty-twoparts of carbonate
of soda are dissolved In IS parts of
g~lycerine and triturated with 20 parts
of gum arabic. In a small flask are
dissolved IL parts Of nitrate of silver In
20 parts OF oficinal water OF ammonia.
The two solutions are then mixed and
heated to boiling. After the liquid has
acquired a dsrk color, 10 parts OF Vene-
tian turpentine are stirred into it. The
quantity Of glycerine may be varied to
suit the size of the letters. After
stamping, expose to the sun or apply q
hot iron.

country was new and early settlers
